For you 1911 guys, I ran across these videos of a 1911 trigger job by Terry Gardner at Impact Guns.

The videos are a little long but there is some useful info.

Nutnfancy is great fun to watch!! I love watching his videos. He seems like a very personable guy. He reviews gun, knife and tactical gear, he actually films some of the testing and gives you his honest opinion of what he likes and doesn't like. He also has some good videos of what he calls "Run n Gun", where he gets out and has a good time pulling the trigger. I highly recommend watching some of his videos.

I thought I posted about it but I guess not.
Last winter I changed the thumb safety on my 1911 with an extended one from Brownell's.
I tapped the old one out with a punch, pushing the punch all the way through to remove the old one then I just used the new one to push the punch back out .
Dropped in fine no filing , stoning or cursing  ;D

An article authored by Stanton Wormley and posted by Sheriff Jim Wilson on FB, it has a good bit of information on 1911 reliability tuning:

Yeah, I reckon so.........didn't feel like starting a whole new thread, even though this hasn't been used in nearly a year.   ;D


What we need is a 1911 board on the forum for us disciples of JMB........... or at least a sub-board in the handguns section.   ;D  ;D

For the ultimate DIY guys, here is a neat article from this month's Brownells WebBench on building your own palmswell 1911 grip safety using the end of a plumbing pipe and some Acra Glas bedding compound.

If you already have the Acra Glas, you can save a buck or two. But, if you have to buy the stuff, IMHO, you might be better off just buying an aftermarket grip safety.
A good TiG welder could weld it on and hand file/polish it out.

Anyway, I thought it was an "out of the box" approach, and worth sharing.

I may have to order some parts for my son's PT1911 if he comes down for Christmas.  That would be a cool father/son project.  It looks like a hammer, trigger, and sights would be a good start, any suggestions?
